The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.10 m/s² for 4.25s, making skid marks 62.8 m long. With what speed does the car then strike the tree? The answer to this was 3.94 m/. From here, If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the tree, then what would the...

You are driving on a mountain highway in your car, which is sloped downward at an angle of 7 degrees below the horizontal. Your car has a mass of 1200kg and your speed is 25 m/s. A moose steps out into the highway and you slam on your brakes, skidding to a stop. The force of kinetic friction between your car and the road is 9500.0 N. a) Using an energy analysis, compute how far you skid before you come...

A car traveling at 17.2 m/s skids to a stop in 188 m from the point where the brakes were applied. In what distance would the car have stopped had it been going 58.5 m/s , if tires and road condition were unchanged (i.e. if the acceleration were the same)?

The coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber tires and wet pavement is 0.50. The brakes are applied to a 1750kg car travelling 27.8m/s and the car skids to a stop. What is the size and direction of the force of friction that the road exerts on the car? What would be the size and direction of the acceleration on the car? How far would the car travel before stopping? If the tires of the car did not skid, the coefficient...

You are driving your car uphill along a straight road. Suddenly, see a car cross a red light and enter the intersection, just ahead of you. Immediately apply your brakes and skid in a straight line to stop, leaving a mark of 100 ft long by sliding. A policeman observes the whole incident, gives a ticket to the driver of the car for passing a red light. It also gives a ticket to you for exceeding the 30 mph speed...

Coriolis' alternative method for finding work can be used to estimate the relative stopping distance for a car given the car's speed. For this application of Coriolis' alternative method, the force of friction is in the opposite direction of the motion of the car on which that frictional force is acting, and the "work required to stop the car" (sometimes called "the work done by friction") is equivalent to the amount of mechanical energy converted to thermal energy by the...
